Not the proper forum, but this seems to get the most visitors. You have to see this!

Sorry, but I'm not gonna bite without a proper subject...especially after you admit it not belonging here.

I see your point JB, but not quite as off topic as he thought....kinda up you're alley. Ex-German copper chopper Red Bull Bo 105 showing off it's ridgid rotor schtuff with some extreme aerobatics.

John and everyone else. I posted this in a hurry. Sorry about brief description. It is a Red Bull pilot doing stunts in a helicopter. He does barrel rolls, loops and other aerobatics. It was posted on CNN and I just copied the link.

My biggest pet peeve on WIX are the titles and subjects. Can we at least get something relevant to what is in the thread in the title if for nothing else but being able to retrieve it in a search. I know there was an apology previous to my post here so this is more directed at other people who are posting new threads.

Actually, the BO105 is a warbird, so it could belong in the main hangar :) It served with many military forces around the world. Wouldn't surprise me if the Red Bull one is ex-military also.

I caught the RedBull Helicopter routine in person a few years back. I was at the beach, when all of a sudden, the RedBull chopper buzzed the beach and started doing flips and rolls. It was really wild to see, especially when I did not expect it. :shock: Turned out they were buzzing the beach to promote an upcoming air show.

Here is the press release from 08. http://www.redbullusa.com/cs/Satellite/ ... 2748140042

It was awesome. 8)
